After marking off a 4×6 area on the material, I thought it would be great to have some various shapes to work with as paint templates. I cut some heavy art paper into 4×6 bricks so that the cutouts fit easily into the marked off space.

Then, I used scissors and cut ‘random’ shapes and designs out of the 4×6 paper bricks. I kept both the frame and the cutout to use as paint templates.
